INT. APARTMENT - AFTERNOON203Please respect copyright.PENANApVZQioWHgP
The room is littered with empty energy drink cans and potato chip bags. The twin sized bed against the wall by a small window has unorganized sheets and has a thick layer of crumbs covering it.203Please respect copyright.PENANAvwBR1MLVIY
The messiness doesn't bother JEFF, (mid 20s) the average built Caucasian with unruly hair and a line of acne crossing his face from cheek to cheek.203Please respect copyright.PENANAM4PmQZXOWP
Jeff has his favorite music playing on full blast: heavy metal. He screams and lip syncs to the current song damn near perfectly. He kicks over a garbage can, causing several slips of paper to fall onto the ground.203Please respect copyright.PENANAmcljgJHoj6
Every slip reads: "NOISE COMPLAINT." And one paper with a paper with the heading: "FINAL NOTICE."203Please respect copyright.PENANAJZoEsyZSQC
Jeff doesn't even pay attention until his music stops playing abruptly.203Please respect copyright.PENANAqu6GZEU9QV
He quickly stops himself from singing more as he checks his phone to see a notification: "AUDITION in 30 MINUTES."203Please respect copyright.PENANAXlMTaN02jd
203Please respect copyright.PENANAWOOBVa4VwS
JEFF203Please respect copyright.PENANAgtReSMevHP
Shit!203Please respect copyright.PENANAHH861fe9xB
203Please respect copyright.PENANAnuj07WQgfc
Jeff runs into his tiny BATHROOM. He turns on the sink and runs his hands under the water before attempting to push some of his wicked hair down to look somewhat approachable.203Please respect copyright.PENANAjh1bVLIknn
A headache is starting to come on, before...203Please respect copyright.PENANAjZlJzefcF5
203Please respect copyright.PENANAFbGHcTDSSs
THE METAL (V.O.)203Please respect copyright.PENANAnSc2D6ijyR
Stop procrastinating and just fucking go!203Please respect copyright.PENANAOJDlP3AvEA
203Please respect copyright.PENANAz6DSgzwOvz
Jeff, without hesitation, listens to the voice and runs out of the bathroom and out of his apartment to his CAR; a rusty, ancient 2005 Chevrolet.203Please respect copyright.PENANAwzIPKNJ3nx
He starts the engine and burns rubber before he's late.203Please respect copyright.PENANA5h5LUAvHFE
203Please respect copyright.PENANAuGLeS80deC
INT. STADIUM - AFTERNOON203Please respect copyright.PENANASHoSKWCssI
3 JUDGES are seated at a table across from the massive stage with one FEMALE AUDITIONEE awaiting a response from the judges.203Please respect copyright.PENANAFrv7if5JGp
The first judge, JUSTIN, (40s) wears a neat flannel shirt with complimentary pants and dark slick hair.203Please respect copyright.PENANAb2KJXsPGDN
203Please respect copyright.PENANAF2e8ObdD2n
JUSTIN203Please respect copyright.PENANAwtkzCuXzaJ
How do I put this nicely...203Please respect copyright.PENANAMd9p6W8Nmk
203Please respect copyright.PENANApYkpXrCd8S
Sitting beside Justin, VIVIAN, (50s) is in a casual summer shirt and shorts with more make up on than necessary. She scolds Justin as he speaks.203Please respect copyright.PENANAmXiiQwqriW
203Please respect copyright.PENANAJi7giwhERw
VIVIAN203Please respect copyright.PENANAv83ZZCLOh8
Oh, don't start with this again! 203Please respect copyright.PENANAs6U8ASD76m
203Please respect copyright.PENANAEiGnSRHPh7
Vivian looks to the auditionee and shows a generous smile.203Please respect copyright.PENANA279ST5H0NY
203Please respect copyright.PENANA2uzjElOzbN
VIVIAN203Please respect copyright.PENANAM4R17hGjch
Look, sweetheart, you did a good job, but you're just not quite there yet, I'm afraid.203Please respect copyright.PENANAQTbMsZ4hYR
203Please respect copyright.PENANAsmphdp72sZ
The third judge, SEBASTIAN, (30s) sits quietly in his black T-shirt and thick jeans as he stares at the girl on stage. He continues his awkward stare before breaking the silence.203Please respect copyright.PENANAkWZhqHePF9
203Please respect copyright.PENANAmi5pdgEueK
SEBASTIAN203Please respect copyright.PENANAwHhI67XTCW
Hang in there, kid.203Please respect copyright.PENANA1gAuwjUKtp
203Please respect copyright.PENANARH47rD2uOQ
The girl storms off stage, holding is her tears before her bawling is heard backstage.203Please respect copyright.PENANA1qdej4lV3c
Vivian lets out a sad sigh while Justin rolls his eyes in disgust and Sebastian remains deathly silent.203Please respect copyright.PENANAXscecBdbRK
Justin looks at his list of auditionees and comes across Jeff's name with the word "SINGING" as the choice of performance.203Please respect copyright.PENANAhuFbJiTADi
203Please respect copyright.PENANAYfo03eVYYw
JUSTIN203Please respect copyright.PENANAAId7u1QLOu
Next!203Please respect copyright.PENANAgS69luwrM9
203Please respect copyright.PENANAKlUwMuqM4F
Silence. Vivian leans forward a bit to see if there's any movement from the side. Nothing.203Please respect copyright.PENANAcfxSejBo3U
203Please respect copyright.PENANATO3MWFHwUt
JUSTIN203Please respect copyright.PENANAe0ExS0atac
Will the next contestant come forward, please?!203Please respect copyright.PENANAeVOYxPuc2U
203Please respect copyright.PENANA7hvaU3dL9O
Sebastian looks at his phone to see the time, Vivian doing the same.203Please respect copyright.PENANArIvJPSLxZO
Running footsteps are heard getting significantly louder before Jeff with his disorderly hair appears on the stage, a gnarly smile striking his face as the judges just stare.203Please respect copyright.PENANAZB0PpHArW9
203Please respect copyright.PENANAqXbVasrd00
JUSTIN203Please respect copyright.PENANAf6dBIrtFcv
(whispers)203Please respect copyright.PENANAqjWUoTurSf
About damn time.203Please respect copyright.PENANAvRVSZTxAAL
203Please respect copyright.PENANAfGOtVpwVQ7
Justin rereads the list.203Please respect copyright.PENANA0c2CnIathN
203Please respect copyright.PENANAgNT8686T2b
JUSTIN203Please respect copyright.PENANAfjxbYUBEUE
Jeff, is it?203Please respect copyright.PENANAqunrAsHUam
203Please respect copyright.PENANAkUcxUBXKil
Jeff stares in awe momentarily before answering.203Please respect copyright.PENANAuSFzssXapK
203Please respect copyright.PENANA4bgYcrfbsM
JEFF203Please respect copyright.PENANAJkeUmBsiuA
Uh... yeah... Yeah, I'm... Jeff.203Please respect copyright.PENANACNN8v3cUHB
203Please respect copyright.PENANAVMnTUjBbnt
He clears his throat before showing that smile again. Vivian's disgusted feelings aren't very well hidden as she has a raised eyebrow and jaw slightly dropped at Jeff's appearance.203Please respect copyright.PENANAfBFmfALIkX
Sebastian's reaction is almost identical to Vivian's, only he's frowning rather than raising an eyebrow. Vivian slowly closes her mouth before speaking.203Please respect copyright.PENANAH86QNFroSy
203Please respect copyright.PENANAAansbGwiWj
VIVIAN203Please respect copyright.PENANAe9KafYV62t
So.. what will you be doing for us today... Jeff?203Please respect copyright.PENANA7oVPaxR7OR
203Please respect copyright.PENANAFIyPn3fCme
Jeff lets out a few sharp exhales and rubs his neck anxiously as he continues to be stared down. And silently judged.203Please respect copyright.PENANAwwQNWxhjve
203Please respect copyright.PENANAbR0sTeIQPV
JEFF203Please respect copyright.PENANAtlwyRK5crI
I'll... I'll be singing.203Please respect copyright.PENANATwfRnNAaoH
203Please respect copyright.PENANAwFQRcT59P5
Justin holds back from throwing his arms in the air, but he just exaggeratedly rolls his eyes, hoping Jeff notices.203Please respect copyright.PENANARnn5y0eHTs
METAL MUSIC starts playing over the speakers as Jeff nervously grasps the microphone.203Please respect copyright.PENANAHFuEqwpO6R
203Please respect copyright.PENANAkNeVL5On8F
THE METAL (V.O.)203Please respect copyright.PENANARSHXqXEA8z
You gonna blow your moment or what? Just fucking sing!203Please respect copyright.PENANAj6BsF24Rk0
203Please respect copyright.PENANATfloqOx7tk
Jeff sighs before he begins shouting roughly into the mic, imitating the song playing. The words he shouts are incomprehensible as is the song itself.203Please respect copyright.PENANAxjxX5HyWgZ
Justin shakes his head as he gives a disapproving look to Jeff. Vivian is covering her ears and wincing at the noise. Sebastian is rubbing his eyebrows with his fingers trying to block the distortion out.203Please respect copyright.PENANAZbwMgpudqV
The music suddenly cuts, but Jeff continues shouting briefly before noticing that the music had stopped, causing him to stop.203Please respect copyright.PENANAqPx0D0ZOy3
He stares at the judges while he catches his breath. They just stare right back at him. They seem speechless, but Jeff can't tell if it's good or bad.203Please respect copyright.PENANAI89Yj6N1OM
Justin sighs before being the first to speak up.203Please respect copyright.PENANAaW9OkMfMTQ
203Please respect copyright.PENANAK3x6sUhUri
JUSTIN203Please respect copyright.PENANAyiUbxTorZB
In the past 13 years, I've been judging talent shows, I've never heard something so damn... atrocious.203Please respect copyright.PENANAEsHVeCXHVW
203Please respect copyright.PENANArKH6R456B9
Jeff's smile immediately disappears and gloominess grows within him.203Please respect copyright.PENANAmcvNcjV2v8
203Please respect copyright.PENANAC4U5MHlyVf
VIVIAN203Please respect copyright.PENANAUJhDyCgkRO
I personally wanted to pull my ears off until the music was over. Sounded like bears and lions going at each other... only that would've been more pleasant.203Please respect copyright.PENANAVx4jHhnDLK
203Please respect copyright.PENANAADc73nVv5j
Jeff's sadness slowly begins to turn into a fiery pit of rage. Everyone's eyes dart to Sebastian, who's struggling to even comprehend what just happened.203Please respect copyright.PENANAmvdTQksYlh
Sebastian, to everyone's surprise, rises to his feet and glares at Jeff.203Please respect copyright.PENANAIo6WG2LSLO
203Please respect copyright.PENANAzr2HYg5LJ4
SEBASTIAN203Please respect copyright.PENANA2dIrio9waX
Get your ass off my stage.203Please respect copyright.PENANA8C18NJMUuA
203Please respect copyright.PENANA8LK6itIA38
Jeff can't help but stand motionless on the stage, his emotions consuming him as tears start to roll down his cheeks.203Please respect copyright.PENANA8odJmvt0M9
203Please respect copyright.PENANAUXweUvW5GU
SEBASTIAN203Please respect copyright.PENANAYn5dpixW6E
Get out of here! Now!203Please respect copyright.PENANAbJXs3knb5m
203Please respect copyright.PENANAFk7ZGGGRZA
Jeff quickly runs backstage and out of the building, sobbing.203Please respect copyright.PENANA8kZVBP12rY
Justin looks back down at the paper.203Please respect copyright.PENANAzUHi4fzwEu
203Please respect copyright.PENANAEgM1SjvZnz
JUSTIN203Please respect copyright.PENANASGYJRZVz7Y
Why the fuck do we get people like that?203Please respect copyright.PENANApYqXrWaiVd
203Please respect copyright.PENANAGX1b9PjtFS
Vivian and Sebastian shrug simultaneously.203Please respect copyright.PENANAd1P5anyxqG

Jeff bursts into his apartment and slams the door shut before leaning against the door sobbing before burying his face in his palms.203Please respect copyright.PENANAy4I1rF16Eu

Jeff looks up from his palms; a deathly glare coming from his increasingly raging eyes.203Please respect copyright.PENANAuj3mtcIa1d
203Please respect copyright.PENANASajdb4ELO9

Under the bed.203Please respect copyright.PENANAEugevxtA8U
203Please respect copyright.PENANAbAOFQMXEfl
Jeff crawls over to his bed and reaches his hand under only to pull out an ELECTRIC GUITAR.203Please respect copyright.PENANAUkAISLKoKi

INT. STADIUM - NIGHT203Please respect copyright.PENANAmMZRUVnnjv
The last auditionee walks backstage and out of the building for the night. The judges, all obviously exhausted and tired of judging, begin grabbing any of their belongings they had with them.203Please respect copyright.PENANA8AMHgW71T8
203Please respect copyright.PENANAwJYSjDjXH0
JUSTIN203Please respect copyright.PENANAzvlfBr3qUl
Well, today has been very eventful, hasn't it?203Please respect copyright.PENANAMDMMR5mr3V
203Please respect copyright.PENANAqRMTg28fuI
VIVIAN203Please respect copyright.PENANAp7LCJ7HAva
Oh indeed. I think this was the busiest we've ever been for auditions.203Please respect copyright.PENANAqnMvoFYy5r
203Please respect copyright.PENANAbrN4IP4iW6
The judges are about to rise when suddenly, faint footsteps are heard.203Please respect copyright.PENANA6Mc87ban78
The judges look towards the stage to see Jeff, his hair even crazier than before and now with his electric guitar. He glares at the judges standing before him, a crazed look in his eyes that anyone could point out.203Please respect copyright.PENANADSbaQoqpoY
203Please respect copyright.PENANAQQmiDlZqMW
JUSTIN203Please respect copyright.PENANAvzxNNDH1TE
Auditions are closed for today and you were already given your chance. Come back when you've got some real talent.203Please respect copyright.PENANAKySadg1caZ

THE METAL203Please respect copyright.PENANAahCOchsWjK
You wanna see "real" talent?!203Please respect copyright.PENANAZE87aNd0T1
203Please respect copyright.PENANA4BEWWeCfv2
Jeff starts playing complex guitar riffs, starting out somewhat fast and then getting faster and faster.203Please respect copyright.PENANABHy2ihSck2
The judges start at him, confused yet a bit terrified.203Please respect copyright.PENANA8kajIyoHea
Jeff continues playing the guitar riffs before slipping a finger down and flipping a switch on his guitar, causing it to light up as he proceeds to riff uninterrupted. 203Please respect copyright.PENANAZDlkZa8Yx6
Justin gets up from the table and walks over to the stage.203Please respect copyright.PENANATZzx8Lwqz5
203Please respect copyright.PENANAcxEykYCp94
JUSTIN203Please respect copyright.PENANAUCdfDBAMKb
Hey! I said, come back when you've got real talent!203Please respect copyright.PENANAu2TijZGX7E
203Please respect copyright.PENANAd6p9txxIGh
Jeff then aims the head of the guitar at Justin's head and fires a blast of energy at him by strumming a chord. The blast obliterates Justin's head and sprays blood and brain matter everywhere.203Please respect copyright.PENANAozORiw709H
Vivian screams and Sebastian covers his mouth in horror as Jeff gives a wide, toothy grin at the sight of Justin's headless body slumping down.203Please respect copyright.PENANATzpLguOZR2
Vivian tries to run away, but Jeff aims the guitar at her and blasts her in the back, leaving a massive gaping hole in her chest with blood and bits of tissue dripping everywhere.203Please respect copyright.PENANAPWgOhwaYJQ
Vivian drops to the ground, dead. Sebastian quickly grabs a chair and hurls it at Jeff. Jeff is quick enough to blast the chair into oblivion, but not quick enough to stop Sebastian from tackling him.203Please respect copyright.PENANADplDgaRVCN
Sebastian punches Jeff across the face multiple times before trying to remove the guitar from Jeff's hands.203Please respect copyright.PENANAf8UeFMx9C8
Jeff pulls with all his force, one hand of the neck, and one on the rosette. The two struggle before Jeff's finger slide across the strings, shooting a blast upward, barely missing Sebastian's face but hitting the beam with the stage lights above.203Please respect copyright.PENANAlu6lQInwMm
Sebastian jumps aside as the blast hits the beam, causing it to drop from the ceiling.203Please respect copyright.PENANApdnfbnCEkL

THE METAL203Please respect copyright.PENANA7Nf4FPAs72
Oh, fuck...203Please respect copyright.PENANAcuN98jzAu7
203Please respect copyright.PENANAdDLMbYPFqI
The beam crashes down on top of Jeff's body, crushing and killing him instantly.203Please respect copyright.PENANA3ipetjX7h3
Sebastian stares at the lifeless bodies that are in the room around him before screaming at the top of his lungs, feeling nothing but rage, sorrow, and most of all, terror.203Please respect copyright.PENANAKYR4VoQFhb
